It’s still unclear whether tennis will be affected, but it’s very concerning to hear that Ukrainian government has banned its national sports teams from participating in competitions that include athletes from Russia or Belarus.
Triggered by the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete as neutrals, the Ukrainian Ministry of Youth and Sports issued a decree that bans Ukrainians from competing in Olympic, non-Olympic and Paralympic events if Russians and Belarusians are included in those competitions.
The ban clearly refers to national sports teams and not to individual athletes, but we’ll see whether it will have any implications in tennis.
